Re: Stargate Universe Good or BAD?
Now i can see someone like Daniel would want to gate to this ship so he could explore alien cultures.
But if this ship is just about a SG team just exploring just for the hell of it aka Star Trek, then it be boring.
What i liked about SG-1 was they had a reason to explore, which was to gain tech and weapons to defeat the Goa'uld.
Atlantis, well im stil not sure what there purpose is anymore.
What i dont want is aliens that are human, planets that are canada with tons of pine trees, everyone speaks english and lives in medieval homes.
If they are going to rip a show off, rip off Farscape.
Give me wierd storylines, weird planets, aliens that look alien and great bad guys.

Re: Stargate Universe Good or BAD?
Maybe I'm in a "Caprica" mood, but a show based on Earth around the revelation of the Stargate program would be interesting.
But, I suppose I understand why they wouldn't do that... but, I could imagine an episode where someone who was devoutly religious discovering that his/her beliefs were simply a fabrication meant to control human beings might prove to be interesting.
To be honest, I'm surprised that there haven't been any really religious Earth characters on SG-1/SG:A... I suppose there isn't a Chaplain or some other religious authority figure at the SGC or Atlantis or any of the big ships.

I'll hold judgment, but I'm getting sick and tired of the Ancients. They seem to be arrogant assholes and it appears that a lot of their experiments we're dubious at best and caused more problems then they created. It would be nice to find something of theirs in a lab somewhere that is really beneficial.
In SG-1, the seemed mysterious, wise, and very technologically advanced. Atlantis turned them into dicks.

I don't want to judge yet without more (confirmed) info.

The height of the Ancients was S6 and the whole Oma/Daniel thing. After that, they turned into what the Q (and the Borg) turned into during Voyager - just another race but with more powers. It's too bad.

Re: Stargate Universe Good or BAD?
There's nothing about it that seems new and different and likely to reinvigorate a franchise that badly needs a slap to the head...I read it and just wonder, why bother making this show?
I've been bitching about the writing since before SG:A debuted! Where the hell have you been all that time!
...seriously, we'll never get anything interesting from Stargate till they fire all the writers and producers and just frakking well start from scratch. This is worse than the whole B&B thing with Star Trek ever was.

Well, color me intrigued. Unlike the rest of you guys, I haven't grown tired of the Ancients yet, and I'd rather like to see how Stargate handle a ship series. Voyager completely effed it up with its TNG-ness, and BSG was just depressing. I want to see well-rounded series tackling a perhaps-one-way trip into the unknown. I've always liked that concept, and no show IMHO has handled it well yet.
My hope is that they'll hire a whole new team of writers to work on Universe (with Wright and Cooper as boss, I guess), while they leave the old guard working on Atlantis. I would be disappointed if they went back to the way they handled the situation when SG1 and SGA were airing at the same time. Everything suffered then.
I kind of freaked out when I read that (being a Physics geek and all). You're right, time is the same everywhere in the universe. No one area is intrinsically older than any other; that's not how the expansion of the universe works.
When and if this gets the greenlight, I'll make sure to make some noise about that on Joe Mallozzi's blog.

Is this why Gateworld's been down all day, or is it only me seeing that?
I hope it's not bad news 
Anyway, I think this concept sounds pretty neat, it sort of allows more variety in planets and cultures for storylines, compared to SG-1& Atlantis were the concept of an opressive alien race kind of negated many highly advanced and prosperous worlds.

I'm a little late into this thread so i'll just give a quick post of my opinion.
I like the idea of a Ship based series where the ship is sent to explore Galaxys outside the gate network but rather than having an ancient ship i'd much rather have a brand new Earth ship, much larger than a Daedalus, far more powerful and sophisticated and crewed by an international team, the new Earth ship would contain all the latest technologies back engineered from the Goa'uld, the Wraith, The Ancients and the Asgard technology onboard the Daedalus.
Earth could literally become the ultimate top dog and the new Asgard, exploring the Galaxys, helping other races and forming protected planets treatys.

So will they just all gate home for dinner and to tuck the kids in each night after a day of exploring? After all these years they should finally reveal the existence of the gate to the public and be done with it. That would at least give them some fresh (and cost-effective) stories as well.
